Zombie Zed is a playable character who appears in I Hate Running Backwards. He is locked by default, but can be unlocked by acquiring the 'Collector' achievement.
Biography[]
Zed was once was an ordinary guy with a regular but tiring job. He didn't think his life was boring, but he didn't find it very exciting either. At some point, a truck crashed into his gas station, and he was killed during the crash.
Later, he was awakened from the dead by Mental to serve in his army, and yet free from his control thanks to a malfunctioning life control unit. It was at that moment Zed decided to join Sam in the fight, defeat Mental and get some sleep.
Appearances[]
He is one of many playable characters that can be chosen in-game.
Appearance[]
Zombie Zed is a black man with a black and white outfit, with some parts of his outift being torn apart, revealing some parts of his skeleton. He has short black hair and has a cigarette in his mouth.
Personality and skills[]
Zed employs very strong weapons against his foes, but trades it in for very high ammo usage, low movement speed and an ultimate that's essentially just a weaker Serious Bomb. Most of these issues can luckily be addressed with perks.
Zed's special ability is a longer-lasting melee attack (0.8 seconds compared to the 0.6 seconds seen in other characters). For that reason, the difference is only somewhat notable, but it is a unique advantage to Zed. Longer melee times can otherwise only be achieved through the Hurricane Heels perk, which also gives a much longer boost, in 0.5 seconds.
